But how can you study English well?I think it necessary that you should try your best to use English. We study English, not study about English. That a person knows a set of grammatical(語法的) rules and a lot of English words does not mean that he has mastered(精通) English. A students mastery of English is ultimately(最終的) measured by how well he can use it, not by how much he knows about it. I believe that learning English is just like learning to play the piano. A student of the piano lessons has only one purpose(目的): after practicing, he is able to play the piano. So you should also have such a purpose: you are to use English.Using English consists(包含) of speaking English and writing compositions in English. In order to improve your spoken English, youd better take an active part in teachers lectures, answer his questions in English, and try to speak much English as you can after class. Writing English journals(日記) is the best way to improve your writing. At the same time, you should listen to and read more English.46. “We study English, not study about English.” This sentence implies(暗示) _.A. that we study the English language in order to use English, not only to grasp(掌握) some grammatical rulesB. that we neednt study English grammatical rulesC. that we should study English grammatical rules very wellD. that we study the English language in order to grasp some grammatical rules47. Which is the true statement according to the passage?A. Mr. Wang has a good mastery of the English language, so we come to the conclusion that he knows a set of grammatical rules and a lot of English wordsB.

Xiao Wang knows a lot of English words and a set of grammatical rules, so that he speaks English well.D. Xiao Zhang knows much about English, so he can use English48. From the authors point of view, _.A. learning English is very important because of the grammatical rulesB. English is of importance to us ChineseC. learning English is not like learning to play the pianoD. a students mastery of English is not measured by how much he knows about it49. According to the passage, we _.A. want to be able to get good results in English examinationsB. should try our best to use EnglishC. should have the same purpose as a student of the piano lessonsD. should study English well because of its importance50. _ is the best way to improve your spoken English.A. Knowing a lot of English words B. Answering the teachers questions in EnglishC. Trying to speak as much English as you can after classD. B and C(B)One of the interesting things about Cuba is its educational systems. As in many other countries, schools are free. What is unusual is that schools combine study with manual work. Each school has a plot of land where the children work for each day. They plant vegetables, which they need weed and water, and later they harvest the crops. In this way, they develop good working habits and learn how important it is to produce. Usually, children do not like vegetables such as spinach(菠菜), green beans, or cabbage. But by growing vegetables themselves, Cuban children soon develop a taste for them. During the summer, older children also go to the country to help the farmers with the crops.In this system, the children spend part of their school time studying and the rest working in the open air helping increase the nations production.51.

Knowing why you are reading- what you are reading to find out- will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly from beginning to end. Examples are directions(指南) for making or doing something, maths problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly from beginning to end. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, letters from friends, newspapers, and so on.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow and slow to fast, as you go along.

But what is Ms?For some time businessmen in the United States have used Ms before a womans name when they do not know whether the woman is married or not. Today, however, many women prefer to use Ms rather than Mrs or Miss. The word Mr does not tell us whether or not a man is married. Many women think this is an advantage(優(yōu)勢(shì)) for men. They want to be equal(平等) to men in this way. These women feel that it is not important for people to know whether they are married or not.There are some problems with Ms, however. Not all women like it. Some like the older ways of doing things. Some find it difficult to pronounce. (Ms sounds like “Miz”.) Generally, young women like it better than older women do. It is difficult to know whether or not Ms will be used by more American women in the future.61. Which of the following sentence is true? A. Businessmen in the United States always use Ms before womens names. B. All women like the new word Ms. C. All women do not like the new word Ms. D. The women who like Ms feel it important for people to know whether or not they are married.62. Who used the word Ms first? A. Married women. B. Single women C. Businessmen. D.

The author of this passage mainly wants to tell _.A. the word Ms is an advantage for all womenB. how the word Ms has come to useC. Ms is different from Mr, Mrs and MissD. businessmen use Ms when they dont know if a woman is married.(E)Before 1900, many theories existed as to the cause of yellow fever(黃熱病). Some doctors were sure the disease was air-borne, others felt that it was spread from person to person.Dr. Carlos Finlay, a well-known Cuban doctor of that time, had long held the theory that it was caused by the bite of a mosquito (蚊子). But neither the public nor the doctors then accepted his idea.Despite this, Walter Reed, an American doctor sent to study yellow fever in Cuba, went to talk with Finlay. Reed, after reading a lot on the subject, had begun to think that Dr. Finlay might be right. Then Reed and his comrades set to work at once. Outside Havana, they set up a laboratory and began experiments to test the theory. The experiments were successful. Now we know: A period of about two weeks must pass before a mosquito, after feeding on a sick person, could infect(傳染) another person; the sick person who had to have yellow fever a certain number of days before the mosquito biting him was able to carry the disease.66.
